                   DICOM Group Announces Shareholder Decision
                       to Adopt Kofax as New Global Name



  Company to Leverage Strength of Kofax Brand Across all Global Subsidiaries;
 Goal to Unify Organisation and Streamline Communication with Key Stakeholders


Basingstoke, 18 February 2008 - DICOM Group plc (LSE: DCM or DCM.L), a global
leader of Intelligent Capture & Exchange solutions, today announced that it will
change its name and adopt the Kofax(R) brand name worldwide across all of its
subsidiaries. The decision was reached following the Extraordinary General
Meeting that was held today.


Trading of the company's shares on the London Stock Exchange under the name
Kofax plc and with the new ticker symbol "KFX" will commence as soon as
possible. For investor relations information, please continue to reference:
http://www.investor.dicomgroup.com until further notice. The ISIN number for the
company's shares will remain unchanged as well.


"The decision to unify our corporate brand under Kofax supports our continued
effort to eliminate confusion between the disparate brands that have been
associated with our company as a result of growth and acquisitions," said
Reynolds C. Bish, chief executive officer. "Kofax has a strong reputation for
quality and innovation among our customers, partners and the industry-at-large,
and we are committed to providing solutions that automate document-driven
business processes in a more accurate, timely and cost-effective manner."


The company's decision to unify its corporate brand supports an earlier
announcement in April 2007 when it unveiled a simplified product branding
architecture to unify its diverse product portfolio under Kofax Intelligent
Capture & Exchange. Together, these initiatives will help to strengthen Kofax's
existing and new strategic relationships - more than 1,200 Kofax Certified
Solution Providers (CSPs) and 10,000 customers worldwide - underscoring its
leadership and 20-year track record of success in the software capture market.


"We think the rebrand makes good sense: the company has tremendous brand equity
in the Kofax name," said Melissa Webster, Program VP at IDC. "The rollout of
Kofax Intelligent Capture & Exchange last year has further enhanced Kofax's
position in the rapidly growing capture and image management segment of the
content management market."


During the next several months, Kofax will work on gradually updating all
marketing, sales and product information to reflect the new unified corporate
brand. The separate Kofax and DICOM Web sites will remain in the interim to
ensure that partners, customers and shareholders have immediate access to all
necessary resources.
